Show Us Your Color Schemes - Page 3

Thanks Kevin!!! We have definitely been enjoying the room. I have it done for the most part in a week or so and then I had to leave on a business trip for 2 weeks. I am looking forward to getting back to the family and enjoying the HT room together. If the French Toast looks like my ceiling color then we are having overdone French toast!

Ben Moore Burnt Cinnamon
GoM Anchorage Amber fabric for acoustic panels and bass traps. (When I get around to doing them, of course)
GoM Black fabric for screen wall
Black Leather Bello seating
Cherry trim

ceiling & front wall: Vinyl flat black from BM.
back & side walls: background coat Praline Cake, feaux foreground Mississippi Mud Valspar prem from Lowe's.
tan "berber" type carpet.
riser & rug: leopard.

i prolly have the weirdest theme combination green and brown =\\

^^^^ weird, but nice. i like it. later.

I agree. It is an odd color combination but it works nicely. I really do like it.

Don't have pictures of the completed scheme yet, but we finalized our choices this past weekend.



Carpet is Shaw "Backstage" - color "Heart"
Fabric is GOM "Anchorage" - color "Onyx" for the screen wall and "Cobalt" for the wall treatments.
Paint is Sherwin Williams - color "Poinsetia" for top half of walls, basic black for ceiling.
Woodwork is light golden stained cherry.

Here is my color scheme

That is black FR701 408 GOM
with Applesauce and Oswego Tea (from Pittsburg Paints Grand Distinction line)

The oak plywood veneer is stained with Minwax waterbased Rosewood stain and Satin wipe on poly

My HT is a work in progress for sure, the paint and carpet were completed just last week...

The dark color is called "Dark Umber" and the light color is "Khaki Shade".
The cabinet by the bar is where my equipment will be housed, I have a cable run / pvc pipe running over the ceiling to the back of the room where my projector will be mounted. The screen will be about 96" and will take up the entire wall just to the left of the cabinet.

Here's mine:

We are just underway the aesthetic planning stages of whats going to be a staggered stage theater that is going to wind up as a front projection room a few years down the road. The problem now is it is in a house that's 1200 miles away....so there's a lot of imagination in play with the space, scale and colors & textures.

We want something thats going to be very cave like and dark but with personality and without feeling cold and minimal which I feel the black leather furniture we have chosen tends to be.


So far we are working off an idea pulled from these playing cards:



So basically black, white, gray. Underlying themes of mystery, magic, smoke and mirrors and a touch of occult and imagination. The main thing we want to achieve is an edgy fashionable look but not so much that it gets tacky or campy.

Fabric for the acoustic panels and antique Louis side chairs.





We just got the bolts of fabric in for the acoustic panels and in a large setting at a distance it looks more like a traditional toile until you get up close to it and see the details, which is very cool.


Rugs:


Paint Chip:



All the trim work is going to be a satin black with gray antiquing.


In summing it up like this it seems a bit too goth and on the nose but I think with high quality furniture and smart, clean installation it will pull together and be edgy but smart.

Thanks for the comments. No wallpaper. It's from the suede collection at Sherwin Williams. I actually picked up another gallon tonight for touch-ups because (for whatever reason) they don't sell the suede paint in quarts.

Josh- I'm tempted to start a Media Room color scheme thread as the majority in this forum are dedicated HT's, with really dark colors (a few great-looking exceptions, though).

A little surprised you haven't posted your colors here yet.

Here's ours:

The walls, soffit, and crown are all painted the lightest color (right) called "warm muffin" lol. The ceiling is painted the darkest color (left) called "gold sconce". The screen wall is flat black. Carpet is from Home Depot and paint is Behr limited.

Tan and black, shamelessly stolen from a few HTs on here:

Go DAWGS (looks great )

Colors:
Parchment for soffit (Ralph Lauren)
Cherry Wood Trim with Daly's Chestnut Stain
Midnight Sky (Behr) ceiling

I'll need to look for the colors of the fabric, floor and seating... but they are more of a camel color. Merlot curtains.

Woah that is awesome. How did you do that ceiling?

That is a fiber optic ceiling... I did the DIY system from FOSI.

It looks amazing. My wife was sold in about 1 second of looking at it.

Wow, room looks great! Are the walls covered with fabric with sound treatments located behind it?

If you are referring to my theater, yes, the walls are Guilford of Maine (interface fabrics) wall covering with appropriate acoustical treatment.

All walls - FR701 GOM, Black 408 and Bone 748
Trim and veneer - Red Oak, Minwax Natural 209 and Varathane Chestnut
Shaw Carpet - Elegant Illusion Balsa

Many "borrowed" ideas and tips from the fine folks in this forum!!

I really like the look of your room! I've been looking for color combinations and this one really stands out to me.

Upper wall covering is "French Quarter Red & Gold" from many places on line.
Lower wall covering is black speaker fabric from Joann's.
Red oak trim with Zar "Dark Mahogany" stain.
Having a hard time finding the name of the carpet.



Close up of the upper wall:

Thanks!

I got the closet doors done. Black GOM. Color difference is not as noticeable during movie viewing lighting conditions.
